Russian forces advanced into Dovha Balka, southwest of Kostyantynivka in Donetsk Oblast, conducting infiltration missions and reaching parts of the settlement by late April 2026, with geolocated footage confirming operations there as of April 27 per Institute for the Study of War assessments. Ukrainian 109th Territorial Defense Brigade struck Russian-held positions in the village using Vampire drone-dropped munitions around April 26, highlighting contested control amid ongoing frontline fighting. This fits broader Russian incremental gains in the Pokrovsk direction, though Ukrainian defenses have disrupted some advances elsewhere, like Novoyakovlivka. Traders assess slow tactical progress against potential Ukrainian counteractions or reinforcements, with no confirmed full capture.

This market will resolve to “Yes” if, according to the ISW map, Russia captures the intersection Tsentralna volytsia x Peremohy volytsia at 48.492703° N, 37.607318° E in Dovha Balka, Donetsk Oblast, by the specified date 11:59 PM ET.
The intersection will be considered captured if any part of the intersection is shaded red on the ISW map (https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/36a7f6a6f5a9448496de641cf64bd375) by the resolution date. If the area is not shaded red by the specified date, the market will resolve to “No”.
For any change on the ISW map to qualify for this market’s resolution, the relevant shading indicating Russian control must persist through the next full ISW daily update cycle. If ISW skips a day, shading must persist until the next finalized ISW update is published, regardless of the date. Any continuous shading which reflects either “Assessed Russian Control”, “Assessed Russian Advance In Ukraine”, or “Assessed Russian Gains in the Past 24 Hours” will qualify. “Assessed Russian Infiltration Areas in Ukraine” will not qualify.
If Russia comes into control of this territory as a result of a negotiated settlement, this will qualify for a 'Yes' resolution, regardless of whether it is shaded red in the ISW map. An announcement of a negotiated settlement that gives Russia de jure control will not qualify. Actual control must be established.
Once Russia captures the intersection, any subsequent loss of control will not be considered towards the resolution of this market.
